EnPAso, May 10.-The following letter

I, dear sir-In the FL Paso.l lines OF the

nsat;no nsat the south-bound train of the Mexi-
Iun Central. I find telegram referring to q
taIl tar that was held at the Spanish Casino,

~ .hirtieth of last April. Believing you have
sa0n sn,, misinformed, take the liberty OF beg
,;na from YOU a rectifcation which hope
S1 yon will publish, as you did the telegram
.bo ..bove mentioned. Here are the facts and
nothing else. They notified me as one OF the
aoor managers that Mr.. Baron was dane

+ho last notes of the waltz were dying away,

l The neonIe present informed me what 1 had
hasn m told already. / thought it better for
tbe moment to make no remark, but later
nben in the dining room in presence OF the
Iangbters Of an American General, the Sec
r'tarv of the club, saw fit to give Mr..
Raron q hint OF what people we're saying
sSout him. This seemed to show bad
tSdpncy. When the writer, interfering
nth calming words, for the sake OF the
roupg ladies present. tried his best to es.
;sblisb peace, but the Baron did not cease
70 believe himself offended, and went to
hunt up the Spanish Minister.
FOR THE SAKE OF ORDER
tboupbt best to follow him. In coming
across the Spanish Minister Mr.. Baron be.
osn warmly to tell how the Chief Secre
tar, had defended the young ladies and
himself, and the minister, instead OF trying
TO quiet things down and avert an un-
pleasant scene, took the part OF Baron.
Thought it then my duty, for the sake OF
peace, to take the belligerents out of doors,
but the minister firmly declined. At this
time the president of the club came and
succeeded in
TAKING AwAx Mr.. BARON
leaving the minister alone with witnesses of
his behavior. A commission to investigate |
the trouble has reported that there was no
ground for Mr.. Baron to believe that he
was insuted by anybody and thus ends the
true account Of the unpleasantness at the
diplomatic ball OF the evening OF the Both
of April last. Knowing your desire to do
Justice to the case | remain yours very
thankfully. jSigned) Fiorenia de Norega,

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Reports received
at the Treasury Department show that
6.5OO,426 trade dollars have been re-
deemed to date. The principal redemption
was in Philadelphia. The law authorizing
the redemption of trade dollars has al
ready been in operation over two months.
and has nearly four months to run. It
was originally estimated there were about
1000, 900 of these coins in this country,
and the redemptions show that the esti-
mate is nearly correct. Importations from
China and Sapan may swell the amount to
$4,000, 900.

What He Says As to His Future Plans.
New York, May lO.-William Smith
VBrien editor OF United Ireland, was seen
at the Hoffman House this morning. He
says he will start for Montreal to.uight and

empbatically denies that Parnell is sick or
suffering from cancer, and says that
THE GREAT IRISH LEADER
was never better in his life. He further
says that the Coercion bill will pass, but
will certainly react on it's promoters. and
will surely be repeale when it's obnoxious
provisions become more so by enforce
ment. He asserts that the Parnell letter
was forgery. He would not say Piggott
was the forger, but he spoke OF him as be-
ing a renegade fully capable Of just such q
thing. Mr.. O'Brien says when he returns
rom Canada he will spend a week speaking
in New York, Philadelphia and Boston.

RAILROAD TALK.
The Canadian Pacific to Paddle Its Own
Canoe.


CHICAGO, May 1O.-The Times says: After
the meeting of the trans-continental lines
Stubbs, OF the Southern Pacific, and party
vent on to New York, stating before they
left that tho Southern Pacific would meet
the competition of the Canadian Pacific,
Pacific Mail and Clipper ships in its own
way, which meant that if these latter
routes took any business they would get it
at loss. 1t was discovered that there
was no possibility OF arranging with out
side lines on the basis of differential rates,
as American roads would not listen to any
such compromise. 1t differentials were to
be established the Denver & Rio Grande
and the
NORTHERN PACIFIC
insisted upon being baited with like ad-
vantages and the Atchison, Topeka d
Santa Fe would under no circumstances
listen to any such concession. The Stubbs
party has gone East to labor with the
trunk lines in an effort to get reduction
OF the pro rate now demanded east OF Chi
cago in order to secure if possible some
freight originating on the seaboard Tor the
all rail routes. The party will return to
Chicago the latter part of the week, and
Monday next another meeting OF the trans.
continental lines will be held and a report
made OF the result OF negotiations with
Eastern lines.

Railroad Circles Agitated.

DENVER, May TO- Railroad circles in
Denver are agitated by the fact that sew
eral trunk lines that have heretofore up
held the payment OF commissions to agents
have receded from that position and have
acceded to the demands of trunk lines and
curiosity is being felt as to the position OF
the Denver e. Rio Grande, now that all it's
immediate connections have Withdrawn
from it's support. The Associated Press
reporter called upon s. K. Hooper, General
Passenger Agent Of that road to-day and
was informed that the Rio Grande was not
vet prepared to abandon the position
which had been assumed and that he ex-
pected to maintain it until the road found
itself without support or the anticipated
suit of the R. 1. & A. lines should be decided
adversely to his position.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
A Debate in Which the Parnellites had
the Argunent-The Tories the Vote

LONDON. May 1O.-In the House OF Com
mons to-day in Committee on the Coercion
Bill. Healy moved an amendment that a
person committed for contempt of court,
to be treated as a first class misdemeanor.
He argued-witnesses committed for refus-
ing to answer questions ought not to be
subjected to the same punishment as GRIM
inals. When the last coercion act in effect
was a mere detention many persons short
ened their lives ten years. (Cries hear!
hear!
Ba.four, Chief Secretary OF Ireland, said
persons committed could avoid punish
ment by answering questions. There is n o
difference between cases under the clause
and cases of contempt under ordinary
law.
John O'Connor. Nationalist, said if the
government imprisoned witnesses as COM
mon criminals for refusing to answer ques-
tions it would be disgrace to civilization.
Why didn't they propose to apply the old
fashioned implements OF torture. including
the rack and thumbscrew?
Healy's amendment was finally rejected
-195 to IA.
Healy moved to limit the penalty for
contempt in case Of witnesses to seven
days. imprisonment.

John Bright's Letter.

LONDON, May 12.-John Bright writes as
follows about the Parnell-Dillon Tines
affair: "All the Times charge consists of
evidence contributed by rebel conspirators
themselves and statements drawn from the
United Ireland, the Irish World and other
papers, edited by active conspirators.
Facts are their own facts. The Times did
not invent them. It only arranged them
so that the public could understand the
case. Parliament should have nothing to
do with the matter. These conspirators
and their papers charged Earl Spencer and
Mr.. Foster with murder in knowingly
hanging innocent men. Parliament did not
interfere then to protect Lord Spencer and
Mr.. Foster. Why should it interfere now
to defend Irish writer's and speakers, and
assume the duties and labors of courts Of
iustice?"
